Dont Quit

Hi Everyone,

The authorship of this poem seems to be a little controversial and lost over time. I have done a search as to the the author and come up with several names, the most common being - Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959).

Who ever wrote it, I hope they got the due credit. I had this little verse on a pretty little scroll, when I was a teenager. I loved it and treasured the words. I gave it away to a person who had cancer and they held on to it, treasuring the words as a gift.

Today I thought I would find a poem for you all and I remembered this one. I remember the gift it was to me through the teenage trials and the gift it became to the person I handed it onto. I give this poem to each one of you that needs a little lift; especially to all who need to be reminded that you must not quit!

About Me

This started as a university project and has since evolved. It has become a family favourite as my children wait to read my next post. They continually seek out new titles for me review and its been a great encouragement to their reading. I have conversed with many new authors and have found reading their books extremely inspiring. It is these great authors and my children, that keep me reading and reviewing the awesome aray of books and suggestions I receive.
As I take my joy of reading to the world, I hope that one day it will be my students books that I will be reviewing.
